Now that the paper has been printed and delivered to the school, it needs to be distributed. This can be confusing process, and can be difficult to navigate for someone not used to the process.
Different methods of distribution are used to deliver the paper to different audiences. Papers meant for students should be placed in homerooms, the main office, the library, and other common, high-traffic areas. Papers should be placed in faculty mailboxes as well. Copies of the newspaper should be hand-delivered to the high school administration. Papers should also be supplied to the district's administration as well as the school board by way of the district secretary in the Administration Building.
Reflection of the Product
After the paper has been in circulation for a week or so, the staff should sit down to discuss the strong points and weak points of the paper. Special attention should be paid to the comments made about the paper, whether it is from submitted comments or general remarks overheard in the halls. Flaws in the issue should be noted, and discussion should occur on how to avoid such errors in the future.
Distribution methods should also be analyzed regularly for effectiveness. Decisions should be made on where to place the issue and how many to print for each run.
